1. Jason Gillespie – 201 not-out (Australia v Bangladesh, 2006)
Australian quick bowler Gillespie batted his way to an unbeaten 201, beating Mann’s previous record as a nightwatchman by a massive margin. The pace man put on an impressive partnership of 320 runs with Mike Hussey against the Bangladeshis.
Gillespie hit 28 boundaries in his time at the crease and his 201 runs is one better than Australian legend Steve Waugh’s career best.
